A "professional student" lands a truly remarkable job in this witty made-for-TV fantasy adventure. Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) is a 30-year-old graduate student who has managed to collect a whopping 22 university degrees; despite his brilliance, shy Flynn seems to have a hard time with the real world, and his mentor at school finally has him expelled so he can start putting his knowledge to work. Things are not much better for him at home, where his mother, Margie (Olympia Dukakis), wants him to meet a nice girl and settle down on his own. Needing a job, Flynn finds an unexpected opening with the New York Metropolitan Library, where Judson (Bob Newhart) and Charlene (Jane Curtin) hire him to look after a special collection. And a very special collection it is -- unknown to the world, the library has been caring for the world's most precious relics, including the Holy Grail, Pandora's Box, the Golden Fleece, the Sword of Excalibur and the Mona Lisa (the real one...turns out the Louvre only has a copy). It isn't long before Flynn learns how dangerous his job can be when he's approached by Lana (Kelly Hu) and Rhodes (David Dayan Fisher), members of a secret underground mob known as the Serpent Brotherhood who happen to know that Flynn is the new guardian of the Spear of Destiny -- and will stop at nothing to take it from him.
This is an excellent movie. It is very funny and is kind of a cross over between an Indiana Jones movie and a National Treasure Movie. The hero is a 'professional student' with 22 degrees and takes a job where he has to save the world from artifacts that most people believe to be only legend. The cast is top notch and seemed to have a lot of fun making this movie. If you like the National Treasue movies you will like this one!
What's great about it: Clean Humor with a different twist!
This movie is the 2nd movie in the series. All the same beloved characters from the first movie are back and the adventure is bigger and better. The special effects are well done and the acting is top for a made for TV movie.
This is an excellent movie. It is very funny and is kind of a cross over between an Indiana Jones movie and a National Treasure Movie. This 3rd movie in the series has a little bit of a different feel to it than the first 2. But it is well done for being a made for TV movie and well worth the money.
What's great about it: One of the best made for TV movies there is!
